NAME

       Carp::Always - Warns and dies noisily with stack backtraces

SYNOPSIS

         use Carp::Always;

       Often used on the command line:

         perl -MCarp::Always script.pl

DESCRIPTION

       This module is meant as a debugging aid. It can be used to make a script complain loudly
       with stack backtraces when warn()ing or die()ing.

       Here are how stack backtraces produced by this module looks:

         # it works for explicit die's and warn's
         $ perl -MCarp::Always -e 'sub f { die "arghh" }; sub g { f }; g'
         arghh at -e line 1
                 main::f() called at -e line 1
                 main::g() called at -e line 1

         # it works for interpreter-thrown failures
         $ perl -MCarp::Always -w -e 'sub f { $a = shift; @a = @$a };' \
                                  -e 'sub g { f(undef) }; g'
         Use of uninitialized value in array dereference at -e line 1
                 main::f('undef') called at -e line 2
                 main::g() called at -e line 2

       In the implementation, the Carp module does the heavy work, through "longmess()". The
       actual implementation sets the signal hooks $SIG{__WARN__} and $SIG{__DIE__} to emit the
       stack backtraces.

       Also, all uses of "carp" and "croak" are made verbose, behaving like "cluck" and
       "confess".

METHODS

       Carp::Always implements the following methods.

   import
         Carp::Always->import()

       Enables Carp::Always. Also triggered by statements like

         use Carp::Always;
         use Carp::Always 0.14;

       but not by

         use Carp::Always ();    # does not invoke import()

   unimport
         Carp::Always->unimport();

       Disables Carp::Always. Also triggered with

         no Carp::Always;

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

       This module was born as a reaction to a release of Acme::JavaTrace by Sébastien Aperghis-
       Tramoni.  Sébastien also has a newer module called Devel::SimpleTrace with the same code
       and fewer flame comments on docs. The pruning of the uselessly long docs of this module
       was prodded by Michael Schwern.

       Schwern and others told me "the module name stinked" - it was called "Carp::Indeed". After
       thinking long and getting nowhere, I went with nuffin's suggestion and now it is called
       "Carp::Always".

BUGS

       •   This module does not play well with other modules which fusses around with "warn",
           "die", $SIG{__WARN__}, $SIG{__DIE__}.

       •   Test scripts are good. I should write more of these.
